W. H. Pugmire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire (born May 3, 1951) is a writer of horror fiction based in Seattle, Washington. He usually writes as W. H. Pugmire. His fiction is strongly influenced by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, and many of his stories directly reference elements (such as Yog-Sothoth) of the Cthulhu Mythos which Lovecraft originated in the 1920s. Pugmire's major original contribution to the Cthulhu Mythos is the Sesqua Valley, a fictional location in the Pacific Northwest of the United States that serves as the primary locale for much of his fiction.
Pugmire's fiction has appeared exclusively under small press imprints such as Delirium Books. Hippocampus Press published his most recent collection of stories in 2006 under the title The Fungal Stain and Other Dreams.
